Volume 1 Chapter 181 Gu Tingxiao's Decision
Gu Tingxiao didn't understand why she dug these wild vegetables. After asking, he found out that they were medicinal herbs.
"Wife, how do you know these are medicinal herbs?"
"When I was in high school, I studied with an old Chinese doctor after class."
After hearing this, Gu Tingxiao admired his wife in his heart for being smart, being able to translate, and recognizing so many medicinal herbs.
He really married a treasure.
"Wife, what are you going to do with these?"
"You'll find out soon."
Sheng Wanyan didn't tell him. Although Gu Tingxiao felt itchy in his heart, he obeyed whatever his wife said.
Sheng Wanyan took a stroll and picked some wild fruits to take back.
She saw wild grapes, and Gu Tingxiao saw that she wanted them, so he picked several bunches for her.
There are also oranges, which have a sweet aftertaste and she likes to eat them.
She also saw the sour jujubes. Sheng Wanyan rolled her eyes and picked up one and put it into Gu Tingxiao's mouth.
Gu Tingxiao took a bite and his face turned sour.
“Is it sour?”
Sheng Wanyan looked at him innocently, not looking like she had done anything wrong at all.
"What do you think?"
Gu Tingxiao's eyes were full of doting. Sheng Wanyan felt a little guilty because of his indulgence towards her.
Although Gu Tingxiao didn't like it, he still ate the whole thing.
"Wife, have you had enough wild fruits?"
Their entire backpack was full, but she loved eating fruit and wanted more since it was a rare visit.
You can give some to Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng, but it’s sour and I don’t know if they can eat it.
Sheng Wanyan was too lazy to think too much. If she couldn’t get used to the food, she could just eat it herself. She liked sour food, or it could be used to make delicious food.
"And some wild grapes."
Sheng Wanyan had spoken, so there was no reason for Gu Tingxiao to disobey.
He picked several large bunches of flowers for her, held them in one hand, and led her down the mountain with the other hand.
"Ting Xiao, are there wolves in the mountains?"
Sheng Wanyan asked him curiously that she would not go to a dangerous place, but she wanted to know everything about the family compound.
"In the past, the troops often went up the mountains for training, and the animals in the deep mountains were unknown."
“Although I often go hunting in the mountains, no one knows the specific situation.”
“This mountain is huge, and on the other side are the villagers.”
Sheng Wanyan nodded when she heard this, which meant that this mountain was not very safe.
"Wife, you can usually pick some wild fruits and vegetables outside, and you must not go inside."
Gu Tingxiao worriedly warned her what he would do if something happened to his wife in the mountains.
"I'm just outside and won't go in."
She is not stupid. Although there is space, she is an ordinary person. Who knows whether she will react in time when there is danger.
So rejecting danger is her first choice.
Going to dangerous places not only causes trouble for yourself, but also for others.
People must have self-knowledge.
"You used to go up the mountain for training often?"
"yes."
Sheng Wanyan narrowed her eyes and looked at him angrily, thinking that this guy was just teasing her.
"You clearly know that wild fruit is sour."
"You're actually teasing me."
Fortunately, she felt guilty. Gu Tingxiao was actually teasing her. It was so infuriating.
"Wife, I'm wrong, I'm wrong."
Sheng Wanyan didn't let him go. She chased him and hit him several times before she calmed down.
Gu Tingxiao was not angry. He let her beat and scold him with a smile in his eyes.
After they got down the mountain, the military wives who were washing clothes in the river at the foot of the mountain saw them coming down the mountain and gathered together to gossip for a while.
"Captain Gu and his wife have a really good relationship."
"That's right. Captain Gu works for his wife as soon as he takes a break. Unlike my wife, she will lie down and cry at home in a short while."
"That's right. Captain Gu's wife is so inconsiderate. Captain Gu finally got a break and she had to pull him out to work for her."
The jealous military wife said a few sour words, and others who heard it were also envious.
"Who wouldn't love such a beautiful daughter-in-law?"
Captain Gu’s wife is the most beautiful in the entire staff compound; even the mainstays of the art troupe cannot compare to her.
Not to mention in the army, they had never seen anyone more beautiful than Captain Gu’s wife in the city.
White and clean, just like a swan.
When Sheng Wanyan returned home, Gu Tingxiao quickly poured her a glass of water so that she could relax.
"Wife, I'm going to make lunch, you take a rest."
Sheng Wanyan nodded, rested for a while and then went to help.
The two of them cooked some noodles and after eating, Sheng Wanyan washed the herbs, spread them on bamboo slats, and put them on a rack to dry.
After seeing that there was nothing to do, he went for a nap, and Maodou strolled in the yard.
Gu Tingxiao continued to work, helping her to finish the pavilion and enclose the vegetable garden with bamboo fences.
To water the vegetable garden, I carried a bucket of water to the allocated private plot and watered this side as well.
"Captain Gu, why didn't your wife come?"
Usually it is Sheng Wanyan who comes to water the plants, so why is it that a grown man like Captain Gu comes today?
"My wife is resting."
"What! You're taking a break in the middle of the day???"
Gu Tingxiao said "hmm" and left with the bucket.
A few military wives were left looking at each other eagerly.
They are all soldiers, why are there so many differences between men?
When Sheng Wanyan got up, she saw that the pavilion was completed and went to take a look at it immediately.
“Boom boom boom…”
There was a knock on the door, and Gu Tingxiao went to open it. It was his comrade from the purchasing department who helped buy the water jar and the kimchi jar.
"Captain, here's what you want."
Several comrades from the purchasing department carried the items in and placed them in the designated location.
Sheng Wanyan quickly poured a few cups of sugar water to entertain everyone. Everyone felt a little embarrassed when they saw how enthusiastic she was.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"I should be the one thanking you, otherwise I wouldn't know how to get this big thing back."
"How much is this? I'll go get the money for you."
This stuff is not expensive, but it is large, with two water jars and five kimchi jars, so the total cost is 5 yuan.
Sheng Wanyan quickly took out the money and gave it to Gu Tingxiao, asking him to give it to them.
Several comrades from the purchasing department took it with a smile, and Sheng Wanyan gave each of them two ordinary candies when they left.
When you ask others for help, you should at least show some appreciation so that there will be a next time.
Sheng Wanyan had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she translated in the pavilion. The ground beneath the pavilion was also paved with bamboo, so it was clean.
Gu Tingxiao sat beside her and flipped through what she had translated.
When I saw the word "gun", I immediately put it down and stopped looking.
But the look in his eyes when he looked at Sheng Wanyan was a little complicated, involving these sensitive fonts.
The fact that the country gave such an important thing to my wife to translate is enough to prove that she is really outstanding.
It also proves that the country needs his wife to make contributions. It seems that he needs to work harder and take the lead to protect his wife.
